Kolkotta Transgender Person Committed Suicide

[Guest guest]

Dear  All Wellwisher/Supporters/Activist/Leaders/Funders/Communities/Individuals

This is a very shocking  news for all of us. One of  our member cum friend

committed suicide yesterday (5th April,2010).

He was only 17 years old. He was keeping quite long hair which was not accepted

by his family and day before yesterday (4th April'10) his  mother cut his hair

when he (Kundan Yadav) was sleeping at night. Before that his told him many

times to cut his hair but he said he will keep long hair because of his identity

as a Transgender.

He always felt a female in a male body.

Kundan is committed suicide because of discrimination by everyone.

Still there is no feeling those people who still think that Transgenders should

not come front and fight for their rights. These people are sitting in the upper

chair and not at all thinking of our Transgender community at all.

Kundan was our member so we came to know this incident but just think what about

those Kundan whom we don't know or we could not reach to them. Just think there

are many Kundan who are facing and doing many things like this but still there

is no TRANSGENDER's Identity is recognised as a Gender wise. In our daily life

we are facing problems day by day by the society and family for our identity.

Everybody is thinking about Intervention and doing DIRTY POLITICS WITH

TRANSGENDERS but no one thinking about the pain, problems, identity, recognition

of Transgender at all.

Only HIV intervention is not possible to give recognition for Transgender people

but there are many things can be possible and need to do for the Transgender.

Still there is no work, no identity recognition has been done anywhere  in

India. Now the Government is started doing senses but everybody is silent.

This is the right time where all should presurise to kees Transgender also in

this Senses. It is a very sad and shamefull thing that people are supporting

TRANSGENDER'S FASHION SHOW, FILM and others thing but these people are not

thinking about Transgender's recognition and Identity at all.

In the National level it has been decided that ther are difference among MSM /

TRANSGENDER / HIJRA. As a HUMANTARIAN ground these people are not at all

thinking of Transgender's RECOGNITION.

ARE THEY HUMAN BEING? They are giving and spending money HERE AND THERE in the

name of DEVELOPMENT but these people do not want that Transgender people should

be CIVILIZED and talk about their identity.

TRANSGENDER COMUNITY IS THE MOST VULNERABLE COMMUNITY AMONG SEXUAL MINORITY but

still they are not doing anything for Transgender at all. Nobody is coming front

and support them.

Kundan's suicide is a lesson for all the Transgender community. We understood

that nobody will come and support us in our movement so,

Wellwisher/Supporters/Activist/Leaders/Funders/Communities/Individuals/Friends

time has come that we Transgender community and supporters (who are really with

us) should take OATH that we will help each other in any ways.

This TRANSGENDER's DAY we will not treat as a celebration but " BLACK DAY " where

all these Transgenders are committing suicide because of those people who are

are first promise that we will support Transgender and then after they raise

their hand that they can't do anything and for those ALSO who are playing dirty

politics sitting in the upper chair and do not want that Transgender should be

recognised.

Please come forward and support us who are from community and who are

Wellwisher/Supporters/Activist/Leaders/Funders/Communities/Individuals/Friends

of Transgenders on 30th April'10 which is also a Transgender's Day.

Coming Saturday (10th April'10) at 5pm we will give tribute to Kundan at 12/5
